Annette's Parents Visit Utah

Mom and Dad enjoyed a lovely visit to Utah to welcome baby Austin. Dylan also enjoyed the visit and just loved receiving the toy radio that plays nursery rhymes. During their visit we also had the pleasure of the most consecutive snowfalls of the season. They were introduced to our wonderful neighbors who were kind enough to help clear up the snow from our driveway and sidewalks a few times that week.

Austin's Birth

Austin Michael Van Horn was born on January 3, 2008 at 12:23 PM. He weighed 8 lbs. 0 oz. and was 20 1/2 inches long. He surprised us all as he was born with a complete unilateral cleft lip and palate. Fortunately, we were referred to a wonderful surgeon and craniofacial treatment team at Primary Children's Medical Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. We are confident that our precious little boy is in very good hands.
